From age 20-53 I kept my weight at between 165-168. So after re-habbing from a serious car accident, I decided to put on some weight. Now a few months shy of 55, I have bulked to 198 at 6 feet. I am definately a work in progress, as I am in dire need of cutting flab (I feel like a fat pig right now), but it's been fun getting bigger and stronger. Progress is possible at any age and with any diet (especially veg, so kick his ass, Tuc). So now I will be doing lighter weights and higher reps to cut, define and shape, plus a cutting diet.

Your lats, forearms, biceps, triceps, pecks, abs, deltoids... everything looks wonderful! That's some serious dedication and is something many would think impossible for a man your age in such a short time! VEGAN POWER!

You are an exceptional inspiration! I'd love to see more pics! However, I think you'd look like a monster in a year or two if you kept bulking and growing muscle at that pace! ...consider it!

Too many people tend to think that once you get past your 20s that progress is just going to come to a halt, but you've certainly shown that to be a complete untruth. Fantastic progress, no question about it!

Wow . . . thanks so much for all of your very kind responses! They will help inspire me to keep working. I am going to Taiwan on Sunday, AKA Vegan heaven . . . visiting my wife's family and dance/martial arts master. The vegan restaurants are awesome there! . . . Tuc, I am sure you will look much better than this in a year . . . .

The metric system is socialized measurment. If you implement it it will only be a matter of time before your grandma will stand in front of a death panel being forced to deny the existance of baby Jesus.
